Hezbollah deaths are inconsistent[edit]

We know for sure that a total of 297 Hezbollah members have died. However, 42 are listed to have died in Syria and 267 in Lebanon, summing up to 309. That means that there are twelve Hezbollah deaths that did not happen, most likely due to editors seeing things like "two Hezbollah killed in airstrike in Naquroa" and then adding two to the Lebanese count, not realizing that another editors has already done so. I find it likely that the phantom twelve deaths are in the Lebanese count, as the Syrian count has been static at 42 for quite some time. However, I won't change the Lebanon count from 267 to 255 without until I get some feedback on this, due to the fact that I could theoretically be wrong about Syria being the correct count and Lebanon being the wrong one. What do you all think? TheAwesomeAtom (talk) 21:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request - correct some of the casualties data[edit]

It seems that the numbers of deaths under casualties and losses is different than the numbers in the referenced articles.

1. Please change "20 soldiers killed (3 non-combat)" to "14 soldiers killed (3 non-combat)" as these are the numbers mentioned in the sources. 2. Please change "89 civilians killed in Lebanon" to "82 civilians killed in Lebanon" as this is the number used in the source. 3. Please change "15 Syrian civilians killed" to "10 Syrian civilians killed". Source 31 is very outdated and mentions only 5 killed civilian and probably should be removed. Source 32 is more up to date and mentions 10 killed civilian. Guy Haddad 1 (talk) 10:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request - change to "11 civilians killed in Israel"[edit]

Please change in the infobox from "10 civilians killed in Israel" to "11 civilians killed in Israel". Source used is source 38. Guy Haddad 1 (talk) 10:49, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request - Syrian fatality figures need correcting and updating[edit]

A more up-to-date and comprehensive tally was put out by the SOHR for the total deaths from Israeli strikes on Syrian territory since the start of the war in Gaza. They are as follows: 91 Syrian and non-Syrian Iran-backed militiamen, 24 IRGC, 44 from Lebanese Hezbollah, 15 non-Lebanese workers with the Lebanese Hezbollah, 54 Syrian soldiers, and 18 civilians. These numbers are correct as of May 31, 2024. [1] (I included the link to the article but I'm not sure the link will work because it includes Arabic characters.)

Furthermore, the SOHR reported that 16 members of pro-Iranian militias of Syrian and non-Syrian nationality were killed in the Israeli air strike on a copper smelting plant and a weapons depot belonging to pro-Iranian militias between the towns of Hayan and Tamoura in the northern countryside of Aleppo on June 3, 2024. Other sources also report the death of an Iranian Revolutionary Guards adviser, in addition to the deaths of the militiamen, in the same strike on June 3. Once the total death count from this strike is fully confirmed, they should be added to the above SOHR count from May 31. Nathan1223 (talk) 02:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
